This is a heart wrenching memoir of a little girl who escapes her Misogynist father, brother and a compliant mother to find her own world and education. It is still surprising that in spite of this dysfunctional family, she still loves them all for a long time until the end. She loves her home and surrounding mountains. The writing is superb. Only questions I had for her are: Why the author never questioned the blind faith of her family when their God punishes them again and again! - two major car accidents, fire to a brother and father, major accidents at work sites. Another curiosity I had was her mother, a conservative Mormon, adopts the Eastern religious origin concept of Chakra in he practice! May be she didn't know that Chakra came from Hindu/Buddhist writing!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra
